John and Majlinda Dunning Marry at Kendal, Windermere

British Summertime..remember the concept? The heavens lent their own slant to the very happy couple’s day as we got caught in a downpour beside Lake Windermere. But..as John himself so rightly said “It made the day even more special for its own unique flavour to events”. We laughed all through the day.

Some very familiar faces attended as this was booked because John and Majlinda and I all met at Alistair and Hayley’s wedding at Englemere House a year ago and I was delighted to be asked to attend as John’s wedding photographer in the Lake District at The Castle Green Hotel in Kendal, Cumbria. He ‘liked my style’ as they say!

I worked hard to bring some magic to the day..it really calls for a lot of imagination and endurance when all the ‘planned’ shots fall by the wayside due to inclement weather..but hey! This is July in England! No surprise.

I worked alongside Brian Robertson from Safe Harbour Productions (www.safeharbourproductions.co.uk) who shot video and lent a very calming presence to the day..I enjoyed his company and picked his brains re video etc as our new Wedding Films company is now up and running tentatively titled Cinema Confetti. See the Video link on the menu bar! Bowness and Kendal in Cumbria looked amazing in every sort of climactic condition and I enjoyed the mix of prople, many from Italy and Albania on Majlinda’s side of the family. They were very entertaining and braved the wilds of Cumbia well. I’m sure they enjoyed the limo ride to the water..fantastic white Hummer with bar and TV inside!
